STEC S Pod – Rugged Android Field Controller

The STEC S Pod is a rugged Android field controller built to keep working through whatever a typical site throws at it. Powered by an 8-core 2.0GHz processor with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage running Android 11, it has the performance to run your field software smoothly alongside everyday apps, while staying genuinely pocketable at just 440g despite its protective housing.

The 5.5-inch HD screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and rated to 800 nits, so it stays clearly readable in direct sunlight, a common frustration with standard tablets on site. Large illuminated physical buttons make it usable with gloves on and suited to one-handed operation, backed by six customisable shortcut buttons for instant access to your most-used functions. An IP67 rating, a 1.5m drop-onto-concrete rating, and an operating range of -30°C to +65°C mean it's built to keep going through wet, cold or dusty UK conditions, not just survive a spec sheet test. A 9000mAh battery delivers up to 17 hours of working time, so it'll comfortably outlast a full day in the field, and recharges in under 5 hours when you do need to top it up.
